Second to None – A free child theme for Thematic

No Sam. I’ve only added an icon and changed some styles… version 2.1 is coming soon with major changes in it. Stay tuned!
By the way: I’ve translated the post about the favicon…

Hello Danny,
thank you for your work. But I have a problem … some characters don’t show in my language … as á for example. I miss something in install instructions? I need make something to activate the ‘sIFR’?
Thanks in advance

ps. my lang is brazilian portuguese and my wp are in utf-8

Hello Joao, you can download again the theme, is now updated and displays the characters you sent me.

Ok, i’ve found out the problem. Look at this line:
href="http://007sqlmojo.com/wp-content/themes/second_to_none_2/second_to_none/style.css" />

You have to move up the folder “second_to_none”. one level up. cut the deepest one and paste it over the first one.

Hope it’s clear enough!

Awesome… that took care of it. Thanks for taking the time… that would have taken me forever to figure out. 😉 Appreciate it… great theme.

YES!
you rocks! tks a lot

But – sorry – my fault – I miss ê Ê … but I can use without this. Theme online!
all the best
joao

Perfect ! Thank you!

Hello Jeremy, I’ve planned a two cols version, it will be available next week.
About the button issue:

please add

.entry-content submit {color:#000;}
to your style.css.

You have to set #blog-title a to the same dimension of the image:
#blog-title a
height: 135px; /* height of your logo, like 180px */
width: 612px; /* width of your logo, like 940px */

Ok Sam, please open sifr-config.js in sifr directory and remove any line that refers to #blog-title. and take a look also in sifr-css: if there is any reference to #blog-title, delete it.

Danny,
I can’t seem to find where to insert the little bit of CSS you’re giving me. Has this been added to the standard theme?? I could just download that style sheet and go from there.

Also, I’ll be the first to download the 2 column version. Might I suggest keeping the width of the 3 column version ??

Hi Danny,

I was curious how difficult it would be to change the CSS to allow the main column to align left in order to use more screen space. What would have to be altered in the stylesheet to accomplish that?

Thanks,
James

Second To None 2 columns version is available for download!

Sure…. I just would like the theme to stretch to fill out the whole screen. For an example look at this blog about ajax and related coding.

So I guess I’m saying, yeah, not centered.

Since I display code using the whole screen allows for more readable examples.

I’m going to publish a resizable layout Second to None. Please come back to download it sometime soon!

Hey Danny,

I’ve noticed that when using IE7 to view my site (certainly not a browser that I ever use), the vertical placement of the primary aside is askew. It is drawn much further up than the main content of the page.

Unfortunately, I don’t have easy access to a PC running IE7 (I’m on a Mac), so this isn’t something I can easily troubleshoot and test myself. Do you have any suggestions about fixing this?

I forgot that browser specific css could be added. Thanks for clarifying this for me. Your help is incredibly valuable and very educational!

Ciao Giorgio, puoi provare ad andare nella pagina delle opzioni di Thematic e cliccare su “Ripristina le Widget”. Di solito alcune non funzionano quando sono associate ad un altro tema e per il sistema sono gia’ occupate. Se non dovesse funzionare, proveremo altre soluzioni, ok?

Danny ho un altro problema…
quando uso il tag more esce la scritta “continua a leggere” in fondo al post sulla destra… come posso sistemarlo?? cambiare posizione e/o colore e font??

Hello Danny,

I really loved your Thematic-based WordPress theme, but my blogs are in Bulgarian language, which uses Cyrillic letters. I don’t know if the font you used for sIFR has Cyrillics at all, so here’s a nice alternative, that’s also free: http://www.fonts.info/info/press/free-fonts-for-font-face-embedding.htm

A list of most commonly used Cyrillic characters can be found at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyrillic_characters_in_Unicode (“character” column under “Basic Russian alphabet” header).

Would it be possible to include those as well in the SWF file?

Hey, thanks for you reply. Cyrillics are not embedded, I tried that – that’s main reason for my previous comment.

Here’s the list (copy/pasted from the URL I provided above):
А, а, Б, б, В, в, Г, г, Д, д, Е, е, Ж, ж, З, з, И, и, Й, й, К, к, Л, л, М, м, Н, н, О, о, П, п, Р, р, С, с, Т, т, У, у, Ф, ф, Х, х, Ц, ц, Ч, ч, Ш, ш, Щ, щ, Ъ, ъ, Ы, ы, Ь, ь, Э, э, Ю, ю, Я, я

Also, if the font you’re using for sIFR does not have Cyrillic glyphs, you might need to use another font. Hence the link to the free font in my previous comment.
